“But old Death, who can't forget,
Waits his time and watches yet,
Waits and watches by the door.”
"The Cottage".
Fairies and Fusiliers (1917)
Context: Through the window I can see
Rooks above the cherry-tree,
Sparrows in the violet bed,
Bramble-bush and bumble-bee,
And old red bracken smoulders still
Among boulders on the hill,
Far too bright to seem quite dead.
But old Death, who can't forget,
Waits his time and watches yet,
Waits and watches by the door.
“You are who you are when nobody's watching.”
“He who jumps into the void owes no explanation to those who stand and watch.”
“A gourmet who thinks of calories is like a tart who looks at her watch.”
“Who gives a fuck what they was watching? Whatever happened to crazy?”
Bigger and Blacker (HBO, 1999)
The Critic as Artist (1891), Part II
Context: It is to do nothing that the elect exist. Action is limited and relative. Unlimited and absolute is the vision of him who sits at ease and watches, who walks in loneliness and dreams.
